Chilling final words of matador gored to death by a bull

By

-

36-year-old Ivan Fandiño was a renowned matador, known for his courage to face bulls dubbed too dangerous by others.

Unfortunately, his passion for bullfighting ultimately cost him his life.

In 2017, Fandiño, originally from the Basque country, was taking part in the Aire-sur-l’Adour bullfighting festival in southwest France.

At one point, the matador got tangled in his cloak and fell to the ground, resulting in him being gored by the half-ton bull.

When he was taken out of the ring, he bled heavily. Emergency services transported him to the hospital, but he had suffered a heart attack and died.

Reportedly, on the way to the hospital, Fandiño said, “Hurry up, I’m dying.”

His internal organs, including his lungs were damaged from the bull attack.

Matador Juan del Alamo, who later killed the bull, said at the time: “I can’t believe it. None of us understand how it could have happened; it was all so fast. The bull knocked him down with its hindquarters and he fell face down.”

Prior the fatal incident, Fandiño had been injured twice during a bullfight. In 2015, he was thrown into the air by a bull in Spain, and a year later, he was left unconscious in Bayonne, France.

Fandiño was the first matador to die in France since 1921, when matador Isidoro Mari Fernando lost his life in the arena in Béziers.

The number of bulls losing their lives in these fights in France is around 1,000.

The Spanish royal family and prime minister honored Fandiño, with King Felipe saying he was a “great bullfighter figure.”

Bullfighting is considered a controversial and cruel practice. Back in 2010, the Catalan regional government in Barcelona voted for a ban, but the decision was overturned by the Spanish constitutional court in 2016, calling bullfighting a “cultural heritage.”

El Salvador president’s harsh response on returning father wrongfully deported to the ‘world’s worst prison’

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was among the Venezuelan immigrants transported to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) in El Salvador, also known as the “world’s worst prison” by Trump’s administration.

His deportation took place despite immigration officials admitting to making an administrative error when arresting him.

Garcia was indeed an illegal immigrant who arrived in the Sates in 2011, but a judge ruled in 2019 that he shouldn’t be deported back to his homeland due to threats by gangs.

Upon acknowledging the mistake, a Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s administration must ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return.

Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Stefania Vasquez Sura, has been vocal of his situation. She speaks of the injustice that has been done to him and his family.

“I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn’t forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home … they miss their dad so much,” she said.

However, following an alleged meeting between Trump and El Salvador’s leader, Nayib Bukele, it was determined that Garcia’s potential return to US is up to Bukele, who isn’t willing to do such a thing.

“I hope you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” the El Salvador leader said.

“We just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country the western hemisphere. And you want us to go back into the releasing criminals, so we can go back to the murder capital of the world, and that’s not going to happen.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that returning Kilmar Garcia to the Sates from El Salvador isn’t a decision that can be made by the US.

“That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him. That’s not up to us,” Bondi said. “The Supreme Court ruled that if El Salvador wants to return him … we would facilitate it: meaning, provide a plane.”

Trying to explain how the mistake could happen in the first place, acting ICE field office director, Robert Cerna, explained that Garcia was “not on the initial manifest of the Title 8 flight to be removed to El Salvador,” but was an “alternate.”

He simply dubbed it an “oversight.”

According to The Telegraph, the US government claimed Garcia is a wife abuser, not an “upstanding Maryland” resident.

This came after documents of his wife asking for a restraining order against him in the past have come to light.

She, however, claims things between her and Garcia never escalated and they didn’t take the matter to court.

In fact, she only asked for a civil protective order in case things escalated, acting out of caution after an argument because she had experienced domestic violence with another partner in the past.

The reason tourists are rethinking trips to the US and which places they are choosing instead

By

Monica Pop

-

A visit to the United States of America has long been a dream of millions of foreign tourists, and we can see why. The country offers a plethora of iconic landmarks and attractions, including the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, Times Square, and Disney World among the rest.

At the same time, US is a favorable destination because of the diverse landscapes and the cultural influence it has on other countries.

In 2023, US welcomed 66.5 million visitors, but according to a recent research by the Tourism Economics these numbers may drop sharply in 2025.

According to the publication, a number of potential visitors are rethinking their plans to travel to the States which will result in potential $18 billion reduction in tourist spending.

BBC reports that the main reason for this ‘phenomena’ are the decisions made by the Trump’s administration, including imposing tariffs to nearly every country in the world.

“The nation’s stricter border enforcement has recently led to the detention of Canadian and European tourists, prompting Germany, the UK, Denmark, Finland and Portugal to issue travel warnings and advisories for the country,” the publication writes.

Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, urged the people of his country to choose Canada.

Until now, around 20 million Canadians visited the States annually, but with the tariffs and Trump’s threats to annex the nation and make it part of the US, the numbers are expected to drop significantly.

As reported by Statistics Canada, border crossing were down by 20% in February of this year. While some Canadians decide to avoid US as a tourist destination because of Trump’s politics, other say they don’t feel safe traveling there.

It is the same with other European countries. A majority of people in Britain (53%), Germany (56%), Sweden (63%), and Denmark (74%) find the US unfavorably.

The number of people authorities are detaining due to different issues, mainly their visas, has grown in recent months.

A number of countries have advised their non-binary and transgender citizens to declare their biological sex at birth on their visa applications. This comes after Trump signed an executive order that only recognized two genders, male and female.

Reportedly, Bermuda and a number of European countries became preferable destinations, with the number of Canadians who made reservations at Bermuda hotels and resorts increasing for 20%. Those at European countries jumped to 32% compared to 2024.

Visa and entry restrictions are likely to impact major US events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics.

US workers and small businesses will mostly feel the impact by the US travel boycotts, many believe. Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be at risk since tourism is a significant contributor to US economy.

Immigration parole ruling by Judge Talwani under scrutiny amid political connections and history of controversy

By

Monica Pop

-

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani temporarily blocked the effort by the Trump administration‘s to terminate the CHNV parole program established during President Biden’s term for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

The plan presented by the head of CHNV was to revoke the parole status of around 500,000 migrants coming from these countries on April 24.

Judge Talwani argued in a 41-page order filed in Boston federal court that abruptly revoking these people’s parole status would tear families apart and force them to endure hardship.

This decision gave hope to around half-a-million migrants who expect to stay in the U.S. for a two-year period.

“The immediate impact of the shortening of their grant of parole is to cause their lawful status in the United States to lapse early — in less than two weeks,” the judge wrote. “If their parole status is allowed to lapse, [the paroled immigrants] will be faced with two unfavorable options: continue following the law and leave the country on their own, or await removal proceedings.

“If [they] leave the country on their own, they will face dangers in their native countries,” she added.

The publication further states that most of the people Trump’s administration wanted to sent back to their native countries have been working in South Florida after receiving help from relatives and after seeking asylum and other forms of protection.

However, Talwani ruling is now under scrutiny by the government following the release of information regarding her past involvements in multiple Democratic campaigns.

Among the rest, she volunteered for Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, presidential candidate Barack Obama, state Attorney General Martha Coakley, and Senator Elizabeth Warren.

This raises the question whether judges with partisan history should step aside from cases with strong political significance. Past political involvement with certain political party can negatively affect the critical perception of judicial impartiality, experts argue.

However, the most controversial aspect of Talwani’s past political involvement is her work with the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), an organization reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The association’s founder, Fay Wong, was said to have described China’s Communist revolution as “very inspiring,” which many saw as evidence of the organization’s ideological alignment.

Judge Talwani who ruled to terminate the CHNV parole program received a “Workers Justice Award” from CPA in the past.

Critics argue that Talwani’s most recent ruling is an example of judges using their authority to promote progressive policies lawmakers have failed to pass.

Experts caution against using air fryers instead of ovens

By

Monica Pop

-

Technological advances have definitely made their way into the kitchen. Nowadays, more and more people have replaced their ovens with air fryers, which have become very popular appliances.

They have overtaken the place of the slow-cookers and work using hot air that circulates at a very high speed.

Air Fryers are a healthier alternative to deep frying, providing the same results but with no or much less oil.

However, culinary experts claim that there are certain foods that shouldn’t be cooked in an air fryer.

While broccoli won’t do great in this appliance because of its bland taste compared to the old-fashioned cooking, it is other foods that are the main concern.

For example, popcorn is a definite air fryer faux pas due to its potential to ignite, Mirror reports. This is because the kernels may get stuck in the air fryer’s heating elements, posing a serious fire threat.

Another ingredient is the wet batter. The crispy coating on fried chicken is something most chicken lovers enjoy, but an air fryer won’t get hot enough for it to set properly, resulting in a messy and soggy dish.

Martin Lewis, a money-saving expert, says that relying on air fryers for cooking everything may not always be a good idea because of the time and money it takes for certain foods to be made.

“Air fryers are good for small things that cook quickly,” he said during an appearance on This Morning. “If you’re gonna have to use your air fryer 15 different times for different items, generally, on energy usage, you’d be better off to use an oven. So it’s an interesting thought.”

He continued: “If you’re gonna have to use your air fryer fifteen different times for different items, generally on energy usage you’d be better off to use an oven.

“If you’re doing a jacket potato for 10 minutes it’s going to be far cheaper [in the microwave] than doing a single jacket potato in an oven and keeping it on for an hour and a half.

Steven Kipling at Which? backs up this opinion. “The savings soon drop off if you have to cook in batches. And if you’ve got lots to cook you might well, as air fryers don’t have as much space as a typical oven or hob. So if you’re cooking a large amount of food, the oven or hob may still be the most economical choice.”

Despite this, those that rely on air fryers a lot hate the idea of not using this appliance every day, even for many times.

“I’m not listening to him on this. I’m air-frying everything. I’ll even air fry a cup of tea,” one person commented.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you among those who rely on your air fryer a lot?

Doctor warns of disturbing reason to avoid taking a cruise ‘anytime soon’

By

Monica Pop

-

In a viral TikTok video, Doctor Rubin, a well-known paediatrician who shares plenty of advice on the social media, has issued a warning about avoiding taking a cruise ‘anytime soon.’

“Here’s why you’re not gonna see me on a cruise ship anytime soon, and I encourage people to consider this before they book a cruise,” he started his latest video that has since gone viral.

“So you know how there’s been all these cuts at federal public health agencies lately? Well one of them is the CDC’s vessel sanitation program which conducts health inspections on cruise ships at least twice a year.”

Dr Rubin then went on to discuss the recent budget cuts to federal agencies in America which have also affected health and safety inspections on ships.

Referring to an CBA News article that stated cruise ship inspectors have been “laid off amid bad year for outbreaks,” the doctor added: “Well one of [the cuts] is to the CDC’s vessel sanitation program, which conducts health inspections on cruise ships at least twice a year and they trace outbreaks to help reduce the chances of more people getting sick.”

“We’ve already had 12 Norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships this year compared to eight last year,” he continued.

Norovirus, also known as the ‘winter vomiting bug,’ is a highly contagious virus that spreads easily in cramped environments such as cruise ships. Some of the symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, body aches, a high temperature and a headache.

VT reported that 69 passengers and 13 crew members from the Coral Princess, that were on a three-week trip from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, have been affected by the virus.

Virus outbreaks have also been reported on 12 other cruise ships.

“The cruise ships pay for these health inspections, so it’s not like we’re actually saving any money from the taxpayers perspective. This makes absolutely no sense,” Dr Rubin concluded.

While there have been those who agreed with the doctor about his warning to avoid taking a cruise at this time, there have also been those who accused him of “fear mongering.”

“Sorry but I love cruising. I already have 2 cruises booked,” one person commented.

“We cruise every year and just went in mid February, which is prime time for norovirus. We were on Carnival’s biggest ship and were fine.”

Nearly a billion dollars of DOGE’s ‘savings’ vanished overnight

By

Monica Pop

-

Donald Trump’s presidency so far has featured a plethora of executive orders and political decisions, some of which controversial. Most recently, his administration came under fire because of the high tariffs he imposed on nearly every country in the world.

Experts argue that this decision will affect U.S. economy and trigger inflation, but Trump believes it would in fact strengthen the economy. He even asked from the public to trust his judgement, promising to make America great again.

Kamala Harris was among those who predicted the situation the country is currently in. She claimed during the presidential campaign that in case Trump gets elected, his plans “would weaken our economy, would inflate inflation, and would bring a recession on by the middle of next year.”

Besides the controversies surrounding Trump’s political decisions, it is the work of his friend Elon Musk that causes a stir.

Even since Trump appointed him the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a special program aimed at reducing government spending and bureaucracy, Musk has triggered the backlash of a number of experts.

According to Economic Times, Musk claimed in February that DOGE have reduced federal spending by $65 billion through “a combination of asset sales, contract cancellations, fraud deletion, interest savings, and workforce reductions.”

Following these claims, nearly $1 billion-worth of savings from DOGE’s advertized sum suddenly ‘vanished’ when they updated their website recently, NOTUS reports.

According to the investigative platform, “DOGE removed around $962 million in previously claimed cuts and altered hundreds of others to boost individual items’ purported ‘savings’ values.”

While DOGE pledged to be transparent regarding their savings, their website remained without any updates from the end of March to April 14, when they wrote the “agency” has saved $155 billion.

While many judged the work of Musk and DOGE, the White House defended him, with the press secretary Karoline Leavitt sating that “rogue bureaucrats and activist judges attempting to undermine this effort are only subverting the will of the American people.”

Wrongfully convicted police officer begs to see K9 one last time

By

Megan Hamilton

-

When Michael Carter, a police officer, appeared in court, everything pointed toward him – He was wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, but he was powerless to fight against the system.

Heartbroken, he asked for a final wish, to see his K9 Luke for one last time.

However, neither Michael nor anyone else could ever assume what would happen next.

When Luke approached his partner, he started barking. All of a sudden, he started sniffing Michael’s jacket. At that moment, a tiny metal device fell on the floor.

It was a recorder that held information of the truth about Michael’s case.

Intrigued, the judged asked the recording to be played and to everyone’s surprise, they could hear the voice of Michael’s supervisor, Captain Ray Harding.

Harding was speaking of planting evidence that would make Michael appear guilty of bribery and other crimes.

After accepting it as an evidence, the judge changed his verdict. Finally, Michael was a free man, or at least he though so.

Since there was not enough evidence to open a case against Captain Harding, Michael and Sarah, one of his colleagues, decided to search for the truth.

But it wasn’t an easy task.

One night, while the two were going through some documents at Michael’s place, a group of armed people entered the house and opened fire.

Michael and Sarah fought back, trying to escape while trying to protect the documents that revealed information of everyone involved in the case of corruption Michael was accused of.

Things turned heated, but then K9 Luke got into action. He rushed towards the intruders and started barking, trying to protect his partner.

While Luke struggled to chase the shooters away, Michael was able to call back up.

Luckily, police arrived at the scene in no time and were able to arrest one of the intruders.

Following the thorough investigation, a huge scandal of corruption within the police was discovered. May influential people, including a powerful politician, were involved.

Had it not been for Luke and his loyalty, Michael could have easily end up in prison for a crime he never committed.

This story is yet another reminder that the go is man’s best friend, don’t you agree?
